Assistant Farmer position at Alprilla Farm

Alprilla Farm is a diversified, for profit farm located in Essex, Massachusetts. We grow approximately five acres of vegetables each year, which we market to an 80 share summer and fall CSA, at the Cape Ann Farmer’s Market and wholesale to multiple restaurants and retail businesses around Cape Ann. We grow a few acres of grains for human consumption, as part of our vegetable crop rotation, which we process and market ourselves. Beef is a new enterprise, and we plan to harvest our first crop of grass finished steers in the fall of 2016. We are also trying to incorporate draft power into our vegetable production with a team of Shorthorn oxen. We are not certified, but follow organic practices. We place a high value on soil health, crop quality and environmental stewardship as well as profitability and efficiency. The farm is run by Noah Kellerman and Sophie Courser, and is entering its sixth season. For more information visit www.alprillafarm.com
